This is your last chance to check the condition of the property before the purchase. The final inspection is usually arranged through the agents. If the condition of the property is significantly different or if promises have not been kept, you should speak with your lawyer to plan your next course of action.
Closing the sale can take 30-60 days (or longer) after the offer, a length of time necessary for a number of critical legal requirements to be met, including:
The bank’s attorney is responsible for conducting the closing and creating the necessary financial documents.
At the closing, the seller completes the transfer of the property to the buyer. All parties meet either at the Registry of Deeds for the county in which the property is located, at the bank’s attorney’s office, or at the real estate office. Attending the closing will be the Buyers, the Sellers, the bank’s attorney, the Buyer’s attorney (if you choose to have them there), the Seller’s attorney (if the seller chooses to have them there), and the real estate agents.
